rwd or awd versa??

[carlos15]

do you guys think it possible to mkae the versa awd or rqd it would make a good drifying if you could

[blindsnyper]

if they can put an sr in a toyota echo and make it rwd, it can be done to a versa. the real question is who would do it.

[Promise Land]

there is a 4wd Tiida in Japan. I don't know anything about the drivetrain in it though. Just saw them when I was there last year.

Last I hear it is a small electric engine on the rear wheels.

Basically if you want a drift car, buy something besides a Versa.

[carlos15]

yahh maybe ill try it some day but any ideas wat kinda rwd engine fits the vs engin bay im working on a turbo kit right now

[biggie]

No RWD engine fits the Versa engine bay, its a FWD car. Everything would have to be custom (ie more money into it than the Versa costs new).

Try not to take offense, but really would help if you done a lot of searching and reading on these topics before posting the questions.

i guess im buyin a new car

i guess im buyin a new car

These kinds of things should be done to cheap used cars since everything is gonna be tossed out anyways. Why anyone would mess up a $12-20K perfectly working car to do this to it, I don't know.

[carlos15]

yah i was thining about ill juss buy a pos car and try to make it better

[ME18VERSA]

this is why i went and bought a 89 mustang gonna make er a drifter

[carlos15]

yup im looking around for a del sol.240sx 300zx somthin like tht

[biggie]

AGAIN, del sol =! RWD.

[carlos15]

did a say drift car no! read before you say somthing

[biggie]

You posted about making a Versa RWD or AWD, then say you want to drift, then say you are looking for a Del Sol, I read fine.

[carlos15]

yes but did i say in that post that i was goin to drift the car i was talking about cars in general and yes you can make a fwd car drift u juss have to be good at it

[blindsnyper]

dude, slow down and use your english.

[carlos15]

i just hate when people go watch tokyo drift and they autmaticly think that only rwd cars can drift and that is not true. and then in another post hes saying that the v is slow i honestly donth think a 1.6l tiida that tops out 200km/h = 124mph is slow and stock.

obviosly these are heavily modded but you can drift a fwd car

[biggie]

Yes I watched tokyo drift and learned'd everything I know.

Only RWD (or RWD biased AWD systems) can drift. FWD 'drifting' is just a** dragging.

Guys, let's all pay attention to what the high-school kid has to say. He's obviously much more knowledgeable than the rest of you.

Carlos, I'm guessing you're maybe 16, right? And the Versa is your first, maybe second, car? I'm also guessing you've never been on a track, never driven a high-horsepower car, probably haven't driven a RWD / AWD car very much, and are only arguing based on something you saw on the Internet, right?

We've established loooong, long ago that FWD cars don't drift. They may slide around as such, but it's simply not the same, as no power is being applied to the rear wheels, and as such, they're not spinning of their own accord. No need to post up a bunch of silly YouTube videos. We're all very familiar with what is (and what isn't) drifting.

We're glad to have you here, but my advice to you is to use the forums for learning.

You're not here to educate anyone, as many of us have been driving / wrenching / racing for decades. There's a lot here for you to learn, so take advantage of the opportunity and enjoy the forums.

p.s. The Versa IS slow. Painfully slow. Very, very slow. But it's a great, safe car for a rookie driver.

[carlos15]

thts true and no im 19 and yes it is my second car first car was pos honda accourd coupe. yeah i was kinda mad my bad

[AZhitman]

All good - Do us a favor and run a quick spell-check / proofread on your posts.

Not only does it help us "old fogeys" understand what you're saying, it helps other people (like you) who may be searching for information. Search engines don't know what to do with "sup omg lol wtf yo".

Welcome aboard.

[carlos15]

ok ill do that right now. anybody have oz rims on there car. hitman did you realy do an rb swap on ur 240? ive never heard of rb swaps on 240's only 300zx's

RBs have been placed in pretty much every rwd nissan chassis out there.. (Especially S13s) Same goes for SRs.. Hell, SR powered 510s even seem common-place anymore...

Its funny i started learning stick about march this year and a budy of mine pointed out i was sliding my F150 like i was trying to drift.... i just wanted to go fast and couldnt figure out the gears so would stomp some gas at 40 going round corners.. now he has it and is trying to "drift" a stock f150... SMH.. whata douche..
